ASG Platform Demonstrator - Software Package & Source Code
The ASG Demonstrator is a set of prototypic applications showing all features of the Adaptive Services Grid (ASG) approach. Based on available standards, a solution for the complete semantic service provisioning lifecycle has been built. A key concept of this solution is the usage of semantic information about services to automatically plan, enact, and monitor service compositions to fulfil user requests.
- The Demonstrator shows
- Service implementation:
- Local “fake” services without internet (default)
- Using real-world services needs minor configuration (credentials, internet access, etc.)
- Automatic installation on Microsoft Windows
- Whole ASG Platform (including OfficeObjects®WorkFlow)
- Introspector
- Service Proxies + Scenario Web Application
